Cardas Audio phono cables - precision for your analog signal
For decades, Cardas Audio has stood for the art of cable design at the highest level. Cardas phono cables are specially developed for the most sensitive signals in the audio chain - the tiny millivolt voltages that a pickup extracts from the grooves of a record.
Craftsmanship perfection meets engineering excellence
At the heart of every Cardas phono cable is the patented "Golden Ratio" stranded wire: each conductor consists of multi-wired copper filaments whose cross-sectional ratios follow the golden ratio. This principle eliminates standing waves in the conductor, minimizes high-frequency distortion and ensures exceptionally natural sound reproduction - from the deepest bass line to the finest sibilance.
Why Cardas phono cables?
- Minimal capacitance noise**: Cardas cables are optimized for low capacitance - critical for MM and MC cartridges that are sensitive to cable capacitance.
- High purity copper (CPFC)**: Cardas uses only high-purity, oxygen-free copper for maximum conductivity and longevity.
- Shielding without compromise**: Multi-layer shielding reliably protects the sensitive phono signal from electromagnetic interference fields.
- Precisely manufactured plugs**: Gold-plated cinch plugs (RCA) or XLR versions guarantee reliable contact and minimal contact resistance.
- Customized geometry**: Each cable geometry is matched to the specific electrical requirements of the phono path.
The right cable for every requirement
From the accessible Cardas Cross line to the proven Cardas Clear Cygnus and the reference standard Cardas Clear Beyond - each series offers a significant sound improvement over the previous line and allows you to perfect your analog setup step by step.
